[QUOTE="blargney, post: 708669, member: 2689"] I go away for a couple of days, and the thread turns red! I've been trying to come up with a good kernel for the cliques, and this is perfect. I'm going to make sure that there is at least one person in each group that could get along with the PCs. I don't want them to feel like a given school is closed to them just because the groupies are all unappealing! So far, I've been thinking of it as a large school, but not huge. I wonder if there mightn't be an advantage to having hordes of unmet students and teachers instead... with enough numbers, the law of averages tends to take care of things on its own. That way I could have actual departments of teachers, whereas I was originally thinking more like Hogwarts - a single teacher IS each department. I really like the idea of faculties vying for student and political popularity, all while reporting to a board of mysterious directors. It's a great way of breathing life into the school. There's some good potential here. It could be a relatively innocuous way to introduce them to the how-and-why of social and political manipulation, especially if they fall into some old-school medieval romance. I need a story that's suitable for a fantasy medieval setting, and then I'm plunking this baby stright in there! *two hours of Googling later* I [i]have[/i] to read that series!! It looks awesome! I'm making the trip to the bookstore on Wednesday:) I think they're both going to play boys.. but if one of them ends up playing a girl, I might just do that. Since both of my players are girls who study science, I'd have to figure out a way of doing this that isn't too depressingly similar to reality... That sounds like fun! I'll see if I can dig it up in my local gaming store... Thanks for the input, everything is going into my little blue notebook. :) -blargOU [/QUOTE]
